While every hardcore AMD fan awaits the Barcelona and Phenom series of CPUs, AMD is busy making the best out of what it has already. In a Japanese presentation, AMD showed off the Athlon 64 6400+ "Black Edition". This CPU should hit retail markets on August 20th, and should cost anywhere between $220 and $240 USD. The CPU runs on a 90nm process, and is clocked at 3.2GHz.

At the same presentation, AMD demoed a Phenom X4 system at 3GHz in an AMD RD790 motherboard. AMD somehow managed to present this without anyone getting good performance numbers.

Swarm AMD FANBOYS AND BUY ANOTHER PROCESSOR THATS ONLY A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT.

Reguardless. Im holding out to see the colour of the Phenoms before I decide weather or not to clip my AMD ties & head for Intel C2d's skies.

I dont think my O/c'd X2 3800+ will be able to put up much of a fight when that time arrives. even now its kinda feeling its age. but I dont have the funds right now to carry out a full on overhaul & this system is less the a year old anyhoo

Well the difference is the 6400+ is going to oc better than a 6000+ because it's a better quality bined chip and uses 89w to the 6000+ current 125w, which means less heat. I bet it will do 3.6ghz on air and if you have a 3800x2 to 4800x2 Windsor and need a upgrade that would be a giant one. A 6400+ will be very competative to the the current core 2 duos excluding the e6850. It should match up with a e6700 e6750. Don't get me wrong it will be slower just not that much real world difference.

you are actually right, i just read a review of this cpu vs e6850
just a little ocing and you got yourself AMD e6850

That's what I'd think, but if they didn't have a good product, they'd also be hitting hard on the adverts about things like htt where Intel can't touch them, like in the 2+ server board segment. Idk....it was the same with the 2900xt, there weren't benchmarks before it was very close to being released. Maybe it's AMD's new stance.

you forgot to add this chip has 2X2mb cache and not 2x1MB like the 6000+ hence jumping up to 6400 and not 6200

this should oc well i wanna see a new AMD WR on these chips

oh and the slight improvment comment what improvement did you see from 1066mhz FSB to 1333MHZ FSB? intel :shadedshu AMD is keeping up even with old chips 6400+ e6850 hmmmm well if you already have a sAM2 board the cost to upgrade is minimal. now the intel side you have a s775mobo oh wait it wont work cause intel locked the chips out of working on it never heard of AMD making a BS stunt like that and intels been doing it since before s370 remember i810? or s423 anyone have one of the 3 chips released on that b4 the change to s478 like 10mins later

Yeah... I was trying to see if my friend could have a E4300 or even a Q6600 in his i925X motherboard, but NOOOOOOO! Stooopid Intel. He doesn't need a new mobo. Don't think the Core 2 line supports DDR anyroad.*

What do you mean I'm actually right that a left handed complement If I ever heard one.

HKEPC Hardware has reviewed the Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition. It comes boxed, through the channel only, but without a heatsink. That saves on shipping costs I'm sure. Anyway, it appears to be about 2% to 12% faster than the 6000+, and it may just best the E6750, but not the E6850.
